Drain Unblocking in Hull
Blocked drain in Hull? Whether it’s a kitchen sink that won’t empty, a toilet that keeps backing up, or an outside drain that’s overflowing, HJZ Plumbing clears blocked drains across Hull and East Yorkshire. Henry has 39 years of experience and carries the right equipment in the van to clear most blockages on the spot.
Types of Blocked Drains We Clear
- Blocked kitchen sinks caused by grease, food scraps, and soap buildup
- Blocked bathroom sinks and baths caused by hair, soap scum, and toothpaste
- Blocked toilets from waste buildup, wet wipes, or foreign objects
- Blocked shower drains from hair and soap residue
- Blocked outside drains from leaves, mud, and debris

- Blocked main drains that affect the whole property
How We Clear Blockages
The method depends on where the blockage is and what’s causing it:
- Plunging for simple blockages in sinks and toilets
- Drain rods for deeper blockages in external drains and inspection chambers
- Drain snake/auger for stubborn blockages in internal pipes
- High-pressure water jetting for severe or recurring blockages
Once the blockage is cleared, we’ll check the flow and advise you on how to prevent it happening again.

Common Questions
Can you come the same day for a blocked drain?
In most cases, yes. Blocked drains are one of our most common callouts and we try to fit them in the same day. For urgent situations (sewage backing up into the property), we offer emergency callouts.
My drain keeps blocking. Why?
Recurring blockages usually mean there’s an underlying issue. It could be a buildup of grease or fat that keeps re-forming, tree roots growing into the pipe, a collapsed section, or a pipe that’s sagging and collecting debris. If your drain keeps blocking, we’ll investigate the cause properly rather than just clearing it again.
